you may remember a discussion on this list a while back
about indexing WWW servers.
Well, I have been working on and off on a indexing system
which basically does an Archie-type thing with indices
(based on IAFA templates) summarising the main services
of a WWW server. No, not the best scalable solution, but
maybe good enough for a while.
Although the implementation is very basic and experimental,
it seems to run along quite happily with a few sites.
Now I'd like to expand the user base, and see if a system like
this is useful, wether this implementation is useful as a pilot,
and what discussions it will start off.
So, if there are any WWW server administrators out there who
want to spend a couple of minutes indexing their servers to
make an automated global database of WWW servers possible, please
have a look at
HREF="http://web.nexor.co.uk/aliweb/doc/aliweb.html
for the details.
Please don't advertise this service everywhere just yet -- it is
purely experimental, alpha etc.
Looking forward to your comments,
-- Martijn
